Started the month of May off right with a 5k fun run. My friend and I had signed up to do this in 2020 but with CoronaVirus shutting everything down (including races) we got our run bumped to 2021. I seriously hadn't run for over a year, in fact I hadn't done really any exercise for over a year! My goal was to finish the 5k in 45 minutes or less. I ran across the finish line at 44:55...that's a WIN in my books!
We had to celebrate with some Mexican food after our "Cinco de Mayo" race...yummy Costa Vida!
While I was off racing Hyrum and the kids launched the Skinny Dan for the season. The boat has been in our back yard all winter so it was great to finally get it back in the water. Lots of sailing fun in our future:)
Happy 22nd Anniversary to us! Hyrum always makes sure I have my favorite flower, lilacs, for our anniversary:)
Hyrum and I spent a night in Astoria, OR to celebrate our anniversary. This was the view of the Columbia River from our hotel room. It was so pretty.
A little lunch picnic before we headed out for a walk along the North Jetty at Cape Disappointment State Park.
Hard to see from this photo but there were a pair of bald eagles hanging out at the end of the jetty. They stayed until we reached about 50 feet from them. It was really neat to see them take off and fly over the ocean.
At the end of the jetty. This is the point where the Pacific Ocean meets the Columbia River.
We brought our bikes hoping we could bike to the end of the jetty but the jetty turns into a jumble of rocks after about 1/4 mile so we had to ditch our bikes and hike the rest of the way out.
Happy Mothers Day to ME! I love these three boys of mine and can't believe how grown up they are.
We had a Mothers Day lunch at the Marina with the Doxey's. We had yummy pulled beef tacos and then played a fun game of Kubb.
Mothers Day sail with Jason Durtschi
My nephew, Taylor Porter, got married in Utah so Hyrum and I flew down for a quick weekend trip to Utah. I got to hang out with my sisters and parents and Hyrum got to hang out with his mom. It was a great, quick trip.
The Johnson group that was able to make it to the wedding. It was a blast catching up and having fun with my sisters.
Of course we had to make a stop at the BYU creamery for some ice cream! Cecil and Graham were happy to help me finish my ice cream:)
Hyrum helped his mom buy some new furniture and they did some fun hiking. I think Oma was happy to have her son there for the weekend.
Julian was ordained a Deacon and was able to pass the Sacrament for the first time. I was super proud of him. He was nervous but did a great job!
While I was in Mexico Hyrum took the boys on some adventures. Biking on the Banks/Vernonia trail is always a favorite
Beautiful bike ride through the forest
Hyrum took the boys for a hike up Saddle Mountain
It was a fantastic day for a hike!
